Summary
We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our Engineering team. This role is available to candidates in Dublin, Ireland. If you are local to our office hub in Dublin, you will be expected to be in office minimum twice per week on one of our Anchor Days. The role supports our Content Engineering group and the Iceberg platform, serving as the technical visionary for the data pipelines that power our core AI products. At Clio we strive to be both human and high performing. For Development Managers this means supporting and growing your people, strong execution as a team and as a triad (Designer + Product + Development Manager leadership group), and building solid technical solutions. Our development managers are highly technical and hands on, often coding, designing and reviewing alongside their team. They coach and build their teams to be both strong technically and strong team members, creating a safe and productive environment for all Clions.
A day in the life might look like
Collaborate with your triad to understand the challenges our business faces, identify the most impactful opportunities, and craft a roadmap for the team;
Work with your team on designing the technical solutions;
Give great feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and more to help support team members making great technical decisions for their projects;
Actively participate as a contributor to the project, either through extensive code reviews or shipping code;
Have a 1:1 meeting with your direct reports to make sure they are supported in their career growth and development goals;
Actively participate in hiring to grow the engineering team at Clio;

A strong background in hands‑on software development;
Diverse knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems;
The ability to describe successful projects you worked on, as well as a collection of lessons learned from failed projects; and

Demonstrated ability to hire the best and brightest engineers in a fast‑paced job market—and to coach, develop, and retain engineering talent; you are equally energized by both your own technical work as well as contributing to the career growth of your team;
You have strong opinions that are weakly held and foster that same attitude in others;
You believe in providing honest, actionable feedback to your team, and encourage your team to reciprocate.
Serious bonus points if you have
